Massage
The healing power of touch plays an essential role in the body’s health and wellbeing and is an important part of the triple-therapy approach that Clover House has developed over the past fourteen years.
The benefits of massage are widely recognised. Studies have shown that it is more effective in reducing anxiety and depression in children and adolescents than either medication or relaxation therapy. Physical touch is healing, and the simple act of massaging your child can release tension, strengthen their immune system and help them feel relaxed and secure.
At Clover House, we teach you how to massage your child. Most parents instinctively know what to do, and just need to be shown a few very simple techniques. Massage can be done at any time, but if your child is having trouble getting to sleep then bedtime is ideal so that they’re relaxed and comfortable and can drift off easily.
Using simple massage techniques regularly will also create a strong bond between you
and your child. It’s a great way to spend quality time together at the end of the day, or to support your child at times of potential stress or change.
